This is my uncle. He has been around for more of my life than my own father. He was a very good hearted man who would help anyone he could and had a wonderful laugh. His volunteer time with a fire department was when I was a little girl he spent a lot of time with the Union (Rose's Store) Volunteer Fire Dept. where I believe he was an assistant chief. He trained many firemen back then. Hershey's chocolate cakes made by my MawMaw Hartley and back road rides with Aunt Nell and Uncle Marvin are favorite memories of my childhood. We will miss you Uncle Marvin.

I knew Marvin during his tenure with the volunteers at Union. He was a great man who did a lot toward getting the paid department in this county.

The red FORD in the background was the Hiram engine that Marvin and the rest of the Union men trained on. I remember when he bought the old surplus truck that Union started with.
